According to Dick Winters in Beyond Band of Brothers : The war memoirs of Major Dick Winters , Major Dick Winters (with Cole C. Kingseed), Berkley Hardcover, 2006. ISBN 0425208133, Nixon graduated from MIT, not Yale.


In Band of Brothers it stated he was demoted down from regiment to battalion. What I'm not sure of is if he stayed an intelligence officer. The source of my confusion is that Winters (in the show) said he's been demoted to S-3, which is impossible since S-3 (operations) is a job usually held by a Major (Nixon was a Capt). It may be an error in the script, or maybe back then staff offices had different designations.

FYI:

  • J/G/S-1 Administration (personnel, adjutant)
  • J/G/S-2 Intelligence
  • J/G/S-3 Operations (plans, operations, training)
  • J/G/S-4 Logistics (supply)
  • J/G/S-5 Civil Affairs (public affairs)
  • J/G/S-6 Communications
  • J/G/S-7 Joint Operations
  • J/G/S-8 Resource Management

J=Joint Staff (DoD); G=General Staff; S=Staff

This page is nothing but a rehash from info from Band of Brothers. Is there nothing more to add? JD79 03:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This is nothing more than the bio of the character of Lewis Nixon from Band of Brothers rather than the actual real bio of Lewis Nixon. --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 23:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

-- The first paragraph under "after the war" is almost a direct quote from Band of Brothers. It should either be cited or changed. I think the language "everything fell into place" is ambiguous and subjective. The language of this paragraph should probably be altered. (CNB)

[edit] Date of birth/death

Searching the Social Security Death Index, the only Lewis Nixon who died in 1996 had the following statistics: Born: June 8, 1913 died February (no day specified) 1996, social security number 248-20-0106. Death certificate issued in Detroit, Wayne, MI. I didn't just want to add this info to the main article without some other corroboration of the facts. --Fxer 07:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I added the contradition thing because first it states that the 95 date is false, but then, on the lfeft, 1995 is stated as the year of death. Which one is correct?--85.49.234.93 22:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the death date, and removed your contradiction link. Thanks for spotting it. 65.95.232.95 01:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
